No need for a thread I say, just make the rolls with no stances and throw them at each other. If they're off by a fraction, Reader can feel free to decide stances for them if he wants someone in particular to win, or he wants to create a scene for the people in the stands to react to(such as when the Mountain killed Ser Hugh in the Tourney of the Hand, but not decisively as severe as such). Make way for us PCs! :8-):

Plus it gives some thing for people to do while waiting. Very Happy

I just realized I might have to fight Bold Jon. I mean probably.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Wed Feb 24, 2016 4:03 pm

I wanted to churn through NPC jousts quickly....
... and I only got three done.

In all fairness, one of them was an extremely dramatic match up between Lord Forrest and Bold Jon Roxton... it kind of took on a life of it's own.
I suspect people (IC) will be talking about it for years to come. I was on the edge of my seat with uncertainty as I was writing it. That Orokos... it does what it wants, yeh?

Read Lane 4. Things have happened.

That dramatic matchup was worth crunching NPC rolls!

Indeed! I figure the named matches should at least get cursory mechanics and descriptions. Most will only be one or two passes anyway.

THAT one though... no, the dice wouldn't let it be handled in any simple way. Besides, these aren't just some random chump NCs, these are characters that are important to many of us. I think they deserved a bit of extra attention.

I'll definitely be showing some respect to Jon if I win. Lord Charlton isn't going to beat Jon, he's just not, if you wanted my prediction.

Yeah, even at -3 BJR has a mighty lance.

Or just a link to his portrait!

The rest of you are just his supporting cast.

Success = 1 GD per DoS

Anything more intricate will need to be player to player.

Lane 1 NPC's are done, waiting now for Baelon to challenger Ser Glendon Goode the current Champion.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Wed Feb 24, 2016 6:37 pm

Thanks, saw that while on the bus. I'll be posting in there shortly.

by **Ereth Redwain** Wed Feb 24, 2016 6:39 pm

No problems figure I could do some quick NPC rollings until I find a PC. Sorry Lord Miraz didn't put a dent on him.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Wed Feb 24, 2016 6:43 pm

I'm not too worried. He's no Jon Roxton. Very Happy

by **Reader** Wed Feb 24, 2016 7:22 pm

Should add on joust resolution.

Best to declare NPC stances first (without rolling for them). Speeds matters up a little, can then roll after PC declares stance and rolls in one step.

by **Ereth Redwain** Wed Feb 24, 2016 7:25 pm

I just rolled for Ser Glendon as you posted this...

Not directed at anyone specifically, just speeds up the process. Smile

Well done to the players for pitching together for a player driven event.

*wistful sigh* That Jon...

Bugger, if Loreia is against him, I won't know who to root for.

by **Ereth Redwain** Wed Feb 24, 2016 11:33 pm

After his joust with lord Forrest, he might be a tad easier to beat for Loreia, but Ereth will hope Ser Jon wins.

by **Loreia** Thu Feb 25, 2016 2:43 am

It would be interesting to learn why. It doesn't seem to be for the obvious reasons. If I lose, the novelty or curiosity that guests might harbor becomes inconsequential, invalidated even. But if she does win, perhaps the lord or his betrothed might see her worthy of their curiosity for a moment to talk with her?

by **Ereth Redwain** Thu Feb 25, 2016 2:49 am

Just weird, like the ironborn that can joust, but you are also a knight. He admires your skill, don't mind fighting woman, just that you are a knight as well is just to awkward for him lol. "
Culture shock"
of sorts

by **Benedict Marsten** Thu Feb 25, 2016 3:02 am

So what is the next step in lane 2? A KoQ challenges? Are they labeled by name?

by **Ereth Redwain** Thu Feb 25, 2016 3:36 am

They were given names just so they are not nameless hordes lol let me check the names of your challengers a few pages back

Edit: Future challengers for you by name and type of knight have been added to the first page of Lane 2 to keep track

by **Kevan Lyras** Thu Feb 25, 2016 6:53 am

The same goes for lane 3, correct? Anybody interested in running that challenger?

by **Baelon Drakeson** Thu Feb 25, 2016 12:29 pm

I'll run yours, you run mine?

Failing a TN9 test on 5d6, that got to be one of the worst rolls we had so far in this game! (Lucky to be 'lucky')
